Nossir, I respectfully disagree. Obama will be a quick cancelling of the American concept, and Romney will be a slower one. A cancelling, nonetheless, but a slower one.
The analogy to cancer holds, in my opinion.
If you choose either one you give your imprimatur to that one. How have you refuted my analogy?
If the length of time 'til death is the issue then make it 'a bullet to the head or slow poison.' The murderer makes you choose one. If you choose either one you have just participated and thus committed the act of suicide.
